    All these are great suggestions.

    Don't be tempted to drink it.

    Use gloves.

    If using it in shellac, test a small batch first to make sure there's not excessive water in it. In practice, it's...

    Like Jim I have no favorite. One thing that helps keep it fresh is to get a supply of disposable micro pipettes. This way you don't have to tip the bottle and gum up the threads or a nozzle.

    If...

    I've never had a dowel or domino split a panel by swelling from the moisture in the glue.

    I wouldn't worry about it.

    I am certain it happens. To say that it happens frequently is what I question. I'm not negating your contacts' experience, just countering with my own.

    Personally, if someone showed up with a...

    I've used EM9300 and EM8000cv. Both are fairly easy to apply. I find the 8000 a little bit easier. The polycarbonate 9300 is whiter going on. IMHO, the yellow of the 8000 - even with the cross...

    I doubt that statistic. A parent may drive their kid to an interview, but highly doubt almost any are going in with them. I've never interviewed a gen-z with their parent, and none of my kids'...

    Only you can determine if you will make good enough use of a different size sander to justify the investment - and the investment in a new paper supply.

    I have only a 5" and have personally never...

    Target EMCV8000 waterbased conversion varnish matte or satin. I love it. It's durable, looks great, and is easy to apply.

    Pretty cool. If the twist is slight enough, and your passes shallow enough, you can often plane it without any tape or sled, flipping in between passes. It works a surprising percent of the time.

    IMHO, there's no getting around learning how to sharpen both by hand and by machine. Don't think that machines are quick and stones are slow. Both have their challenges. You just have to run the...

    Sharpen the undercut of the rim, or eliminate it. Remove the tenon, and it'll be fine.

    You sound like me.

    A track saw is a pain in the butt for me. I despise setting it up. It's never quite supported perfectly, or the piece is just a bit awkward. For me, I've concluded that a...

    I hadn't noticed the technical critiques but I see them now, but don't find them objectionable. I find the form resembles a suspended acorn. It also conjures images of an alien spacecraft. There's...

    I have purchased lumber from Baird Brothers in Ohio before and was quite pleased.
    Has anyone purchased hardwood flooring from Baird Brothers before?

    Personally, I prefer smaller "smoothing" planes. They balance better on small items, and are less demanding of a flat piece in order to do their job. A #4 is IMHO perfect. It's large enough to be...

    Nothing wrong w that. I have the Veritas shooting plane, and I feel just as you do. The ergonomics make a big difference to the ENJOYMENT of using the plane. There's no shame in that.

    Use a waterbased top coat. I've used a...

    There's no benefit. I always prefer to add a single board to each glue up because if there's a little bit of final joint tweaking required, the single board is easier to handle.
